Graduate students famously never make mistakes (like including their own hair in samples) and also never smoke weed. So that couldn’t be it.

It’s the structure that rolls under the rocket to allow techs to work on the engines and stuff while it’s vertical. It rolls out of the way, behind some heat shielding, before and during launch. Looks like the heat shielding failed or it moved, either way it got cooked.

A redneck missing half his teeth can make meth in a Gatorade bottle in a Wal-Mart bathroom. I could probably figure it out. But that would be pretty bad for my career.

As an actual professional organic chemist, ironically, these make my eyes hurt.

I am once again begging people to not post headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.

I understand your sentiment, but a lot of that isn’t right.

Early iPhone apps were going for $10-20. So many developers being okay with just data harvesting plus so many devices out there made the $0.99 / free with ads model dominate – people got used to “free” apps from the big guys (Facebook, Google, whoever).

iOS apps are pretty resilient to OS updates. They usually only totally break when huge changes happen (dropping 32-bit support, etc) and those happen once a decade.

Tons of Windows software didn’t survive the 3.1 to 95 transition. A bunch died on 98 to XP, too. In the Apple world, a lot got left behind on the Mac when they went from PowerPC to Intel processors in 2007, or when they dropped 32-bit libraries.

In the revolutionary context, the extra days were all piled into the end of the year. Kind of a special short month, or more realistically a set of days not in a month. But yeah, leap days were added there when necessary.

Twelve months of five weeks of six days plus five or six days at the end for Christmas and New Years would absolutely rule. As long as weeks became 4+2 and not 5+1, anyway. I say we drop Thursdays and just keep the rest of the day names, they’re fine.

I’d say the evangelical base won’t appreciate sex with teens but… given their track record they’ll probably say well actually sex with teens is just a-ok with us now

Both 5e and the 2024 rules only crit / crit miss on attacks. But Baldur’s Gate 3 introduced them on checks, which muddied the waters.

BG3 also did drinking potions as bonus actions, which 5e did not do but many DM’s (including those in several well-known real play shows) did as a house rule, then they incorporated it into the 2024 rules.

What a mess.

Please stop writing headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that don’t end with. Well. You know.
